My problem is, the I can get it to slide around, I suppose it's the price of
having no emmissions and dule SU's but hey!  It's not a matter of not having
enough power to kick it back, but too much tourque in the first place.  Ice

it's because I carry arround 2 ton trolly jack, axle stands, socket set,
spade, fan, toolbox etc in the boot:-)
